CEO’S REPORT

==> picture [219 x 237] intentionally omitted <==

“I am pleased to present a comprehensive overview of our Company's performance and strategic direction for FY23. Our commitment to driving organic growth, pioneering technological innovation, and prioritizing customer satisfaction has been instrumental in driving our achievements within a constantly evolving market landscape, all while adhering to the stated INTEGRATEDXR® strategy.

Despite the Company's presentation of a positive adjusted EBITDA (refer to the table contained in this report) for FY23, the overall loss was primarily influenced by non-cash accounting charges, notably the prudent impairment assessment of intangible assets. In a market characterized by robust expansion, especially within the global business-to-business (B2B) domain, integrated XR technologies have emerged as a dominant force.

Major market-leading enterprises are increasingly embracing these transformative technologies, notably in sectors such as CAD, ERP, CRM, and more, resulting in significant growth and global investment within the industrial sphere.

Despite the tough global economy with rising interest rates, inflation, and conflicts, the Company managed to achieve a successful result, even more remarkable considering we're in the early stages of market adoption in an emerging market.”

Fostering organic growth through innovation:

“The past fiscal year stands as a testament to our organic growth across diverse technological domains and markets, solidifying our standing as a dynamic industry contender. Despite being a relatively young company, we've harnessed the power of an innovative combined technology approach, known as INTEGRATEDXR®. It is important to highlight that this strategy requires time to fully mature.

We have diligently invested, and our commitment remains steadfast in advancing our solutions. The INTEGRATEDXR® concept has garnered increasing recognition from customers and governments in Italy, the USA, and Australia. While the provision of integrated solutions demands substantial expertise and investment, it promises robust growth and enduring global customer loyalty.”

----- Start of picture text -----

Beyond reality 2023 I Vection Technologies Limited I Annual Report I 13
----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [103 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Strategic adaptation to dynamic markets:

“In a landscape marked by rapid changes, our dedication to enhancing our technology suite remains firm. This commitment stems from our unyielding focus on meeting the evolving needs of our customers. As we diligently evaluate and optimize our business' cost structure, we acknowledge the necessity of strategic investments to gain a competitive advantage, foster international expansion through both existing partnerships and new collaborations, as well as facilitate selective acquisitions.

In FY23, the Company prioritized its strategic partner relations focusing on technology, client engagement, and value creation for customers, with partners including Accenture and Cisco Webex. By investing substantial effort and resources into these key relationships, the Company showcased its commitment to fostering collaborative growth and innovation. These strategic efforts not only exemplify the Company's vision for synergy and growth but also solidify its standing as a trusted industry player capable of driving meaningful, sustainable results.”

Harmonizing Technologies:

Crucially, our Company is currently in an investment phase, strategically positioned to transition into profitability. By combining organic growth and selective acquisitions, our strategy positions us as a global contender, mitigating business risks and reinforcing our market presence. This concerted effort, guided by our experienced management, aims to cater to the escalating demand for digitalization on a global scale.”

Balancing growth and customer-centric approach:

“While our focus on expanding recurring revenue streams remains unchanged, we recognize that the market we operate in is still evolving. Consequently, our clients require a tailored, attentive approach as they embrace the transformative potential of the 3D revolution. Our commitment to delivering a premium experience remains firm, expediting the adoption of innovative technologies.

“Furthermore, groundbreaking technologies like ChatGPT have catalysed disruptive innovation within our market. In response, we have empowered our technology team to innovate at the intersection of ICT, 3D and AI. This fusion empowers our clients with distinct advantages and positions us at the forefront of the industry's evolution.”

Financial performance and forward Path:

“Our year's revenue growth has been remarkably encouraging and in line with projections. Although the initial half of the year experienced some deceleration due to external factors, the latter half witnessed a substantial recovery that enabled us to meet expectations. Our trajectory aligns with our verticalization strategy, focusing on tailoring technology solutions to specific industries.

----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [103 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

This approach involves the strategic integration of select technologies and experts with deep sector insights.

Industries such as defence, space, real estate, fashion, manufacturing, education, and healthcare have been central to our efforts and investments. This strategy extends to developing customized solutions, pursuing acquisitions, forging strategic alliances, and deploying top-tier managers to advance our market position.

Vection Technologies has successfully achieved its projected revenue goals for the fiscal year, effectively delivering on its anticipated revenue range of $24 to $26 million. The financial performance for FY23 reflects total revenue of approximately $26.3m, marking a noteworthy increase of 39% compared to the previous fiscal year's total revenue of $18.9m in FY22.

Additionally, the Total Contract Value (TCV) for FY23 amounted to $28 million, showcasing a 47% growth compared to the TCV in FY22. This emphasizes the Company's ability to consistently expand its business and secure valuable contracts.

During the year, we continued to adopt a personalized, white-glove approach to customer service. While this approach temporarily led to elevated costs of sales, it was a conscious decision to establish strong foundations for future growth.

The combined implementation of traditional technologies, XR, and AI is rapidly gaining traction across various industries.

As this integration becomes more prevalent, we anticipate a subsequent reduction in costs of sales in the upcoming years. The synergy between these technologies will drive operational efficiencies and open avenues for cost savings. Our INTEGRATEDXR® technology portfolio continues to be of paramount importance to our clients. By solidifying our relationships and nurturing strategic partnerships, we anticipate a favourable impact on our profit margins. This, in turn, will fuel a more dynamic and sustainable growth trajectory.

In terms of underlying EBITDA, FY23 generated a small positive underlying EBITDA,

In particular, the Company recorded $5.1m in non-cash accounting charges due to share-based issuances and prudent impairment on intangibles assets acquired during the prior years, $1.2m in depreciation and amortization, $0.6m in changes in inventory, and $0.4m in interest and financing related costs. Furthermore, during the period, the Company recorded $3.1m in oneoff and cost-reduction items, including $2.3m in reduction of non-critical personnel, consultants, and operating verticals expenses, $0.2m in one-off variable cost of sales, $0.5m in noncapitalized one-off investments in infrastructure, and $0.2m in extraordinary legal and consultants’ fees, mainly due to M&A initiatives.

The Company’s debt position was $10.3m, up from $3.6m at 30 June 2022, due to increased invoicing to customers being financed by leading commercial banks. As for the Company's cash position,

==> picture [540 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

Beyond reality 2023 I Vection Technologies Limited I Annual Report I 15
----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [103 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

it stood at $11.4m at the close of the fiscal year on 30 June 2023.

As the predominant portion of the debt originates from invoice financing, it will be settled upon customers' payments to the company, given its self-liquidating nature.

These financial figures collectively underscore Vection Technologies' substantial growth and financial stability, serving as a testament to its strategic initiatives and market presence.

In conclusion, our journey embodies a combination of innovation and service excellence. Our unrelenting pursuit of cutting-edge technology solutions and dedication to personalized service positions us optimally to harness the potential within a dynamic market. As we continue to refine our strategies and mature as a company, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and trust in our vision.

Vection Technologies’ strategy boosts us toward a path of continuous growth, poised to grow our market presence in Europe, the USA, Australia, and subsequently, the Asian market. Our emphasis on integrated immersive technologies seamlessly aligns with the global trend towards digitalization, a trend we are well-prepared to lead.

We sincerely thank you for your support on this transformative journey.”

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Other than informa�on disclosed elsewhere in this annual report, informa�on on likely developments in the opera�ons of the Group and the expected results of those opera�ons in future financial years has not been included in this Directors' Report because the Directors believe, on reasonable grounds, that to include such informa�on would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

RISK AND GOVERNANCE

Poten�al risks associated with external technologies.

The Group relies on third-party off-the-shelf technologies, alongside its proprietary solu�ons, to support its INTEGRATED XR[] offering. These external technologies may be suscep�ble to issues beyond the Group's control, such as becoming obsolete or experiencing version conflicts. Such concerns could hinder the Group's ability to effec�vely upgrade and maintain its technology, poten�ally impac�ng its ability to serve customers. Moreover, the licensing condi�ons and pricing imposed by third-party providers may prove unsustainable or imprac�cal, poten�ally necessita�ng the Group to seek alterna�ve solu�ons or develop in-house op�ons. However, there is no certainty that the Group would be able to do so in a smooth and uninterrupted manner if the need arises.

Establishing and maintaining strategic rela�onships.

Success for the Group hinges on maintaining exis�ng strategic rela�onships and establishing new ones with industry and technology leaders. However, the ability to sustain or establish these crucial connec�ons remains uncertain.

Dependence on third-party providers.

==> picture [112 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

Several of the Group's technology solu�ons are designed to work with various external pla�orms, networks, systems, devices, and hardware. Any changes to these external elements could favour compe�ng products or nega�vely impact the func�onality of the Group's offerings, poten�ally leading to financial consequences.

Sales cycle variability.

cycle and product implementa�on schedule are influenced by various factors, including client nature and size, and complex decision-making processes, making predic�ons difficult.

As the Group strives to gain market acceptance in new markets, it may need to expand its opera�ons. However, its current systems, procedures, and resources may not be sufficient to support such growth. Consequently, difficul�es in managing expansion or inadequate upgrades to systems and infrastructure could arise.

Data security and hos�ng risks.

The Group stores data in its own systems and with various third-party service providers and hos�ng facili�es. These facili�es are suscep�ble to damage, outages, and cybersecurity threats, poten�ally resul�ng in data corrup�on, the�, or loss. While the Group is implemen�ng comprehensive cybersecurity measures, a cybersecurity incident could have severe consequences, including reputa�onal damage and increased costs.

  • b. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remunera�on.

The Board adheres to the remunera�on policy detailed in the Company’s prospectus issued in December 2016. The remunera�on policy of the Board is designed to ensure that the level and composi�on of remunera�on is compe��ve, reasonable, and appropriate for the results delivered and to a�ract and maintain desirable directors, company secretaries and senior execu�ves.

The Board are mindful that where possible the remunera�on structures reward the achievement of strategic objec�ves to achieve the broader outcome of the crea�on of value for shareholders.

The remunera�on commi�ee is responsible for assessing performance against key performance indicators and determining the short-term incen�ves and long-term incen�ves to be paid. To assist in this assessment, the commi�ee receives detailed reports on performance from management which are based on independently verifiable data such as financial measures, market share and data from independently run surveys.

or defer performance-based remunera�on and may also claw back performance-based remunera�on paid in previous financial years.

To ensure the remunera�on commi�ee is appropriately informed when making remunera�on decisions, the remunera�on commi�ee may seek external advice, as it requires, on remunera�on policies and prac�ces. Remunera�on consultants can be engaged by, and report directly to, the Commi�ee. In selec�ng remunera�on consultants, the Commi�ee would consider poten�al conflicts of interest and independence from the Group’s KMP and any other execu�ves. During the financial year the commi�ee has sought some advice from external remunera�on consultants in rela�on to remunera�on benchmarking, remunera�on strategy and long-term incen�ve plan structures. This did not involve providing the remunera�on commi�ee with any remunera�on recommenda�ons as defined by the Corpora�ons Act 2001.

The Board’s policy is to remunerate non-execu�ve directors at market rates for �me, commitment, and responsibili�es. The Board determines payments to the non-execu�ve directors and reviews their remunera�on annually, based on market prac�ce, du�es, and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. In the current year, no advice was sought.

Upon appointment to the Board, all non-execu�ve directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a le�er of appointment. The le�er summarizes the policies and terms, including compensa�on, relevant to the office of the director.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-execu�ve directors is currently fixed at $300,000 with any change in this amount subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Mee�ng. The Company does not have a Director’s Re�rement Scheme in place at present.

  • d. Execu�ve director and senior management remunera�on.

Service Contracts

It is the Company’s policy that service contracts for execu�ve directors and senior execu�ves be entered into. A service contract with an execu�ve director or senior execu�ve would provide for the payment of benefits where the contract is terminated by the en�ty or the individual.

The execu�ve directors and senior execu�ves would also be en�tled to receive on termina�on of employment their statutory en�tlements of accrued annual and long service leave, together with any superannua�on benefits.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

ended 30 June 2023 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolu�on of directors on in September 2023.

The Company is a public company limited by shares incorporated on 14 September 2016 and domiciled in Australia. The nature of the opera�ons and principal ac�vi�es of the Company are described in the Directors’ report.

a. Basis of prepara�on.

i. Statement of compliance.

with the Australian Accoun�ng Standards (“AASBs”), including Australian Accoun�ng Interpreta�ons, other authorita�ve pronouncements of the Australian Accoun�ng Standards Board and the Corpora�ons Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented en��es. This financial report also complies with Interna�onal Financial Repor�ng Standards as issued by the Interna�onal Accoun�ng Standards Boards (“IASB”).

ii. Basis of measurement and repor�ng conven�on.

b. Segment informa�on.

Opera�ng Segments – AASB 8 requires a management approach under which segment informa�on is presented on the same basis as that used for internal repor�ng purposes. This is consistent to the approach used for the compara�ve period. Opera�ng segments are reported in a uniform manner to which is internally provided to the chief opera�ng decision maker. The chief opera�ng decision maker has been

An opera�ng segment is a component of the Group that engages in business ac�vity from which it may earn revenues or incur expenditure, including those that relate to transac�ons with other Group components. Each opera�ng segment’s results are reviewed regularly by the Board to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial informa�on is available.

The Board monitors the opera�ons of the Group based on: IT so�ware development & sales division and services division.

strategic decision-making is facilitated by evalua�on of the opera�ons of the legal parent and subsidiaries which represent the opera�onal performance of the Group’s revenues and the research and development ac�vi�es as well as the finance, treasury, compliance, and funding elements of the Group.

c. Parent en�ty informa�on.

equal the actual results. This note provides an overview of the areas that involve a degree of judgement or complexity in the preparing the annual financial report. Facts and circumstances may come to light a�er the event which may have significantly varied the assessment used which result in a materially different value being recorded at the �me of preparing this annual financial report.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

==> picture [112 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

Share-based payments : The Group measures the cost of equity-se�led transac�ons by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black- Scholes model taking into account the terms and condi�ons upon which the instruments were granted. The accoun�ng es�mates and assump�ons rela�ng to equity-se�led share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabili�es within the next annual repor�ng period but may impact profit or loss and equity. Refer to notes [15] and [16] for details of inputs u�lised in calcula�ng the fair value of the equity instrument.

Es�ma�on of useful lives of assets : The Group determines the es�mated useful lives and related deprecia�on and amor�sa�on charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innova�ons or some other event. The deprecia�on and amor�sa�on charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously es�mated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be wri�en off or wri�en down.

: The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accoun�ng policy stated in note [1(s)]. The recoverable amounts of cash-genera�ng units have been determined based on value-in-use calcula�ons. These calcula�ons require the use of assump�ons, including es�mated pre-tax discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the es�mated future cash flows.

Allowance for expected credit losses : The allowance for expected credit loss assessment requires a degree of es�ma�on and judgement. It is based on the life�me expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assump�ons to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assump�ons include recent sales experience, historical collec�on rates, and forward-looking informa�on that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses, as disclosed in note [5], is calculated based on the informa�on available at the �me of prepara�on. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower.

Provision for impairment of inventories : The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of es�ma�on and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.

e. Principles of consolida�on.

Subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are all en��es (including structured en��es) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an en�ty when the Group is exposed to or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the en�ty and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the ac�vi�es of the en�ty. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transac�ons, balances, and unrealised gains on transac�ons between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transac�on provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accoun�ng policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

  • f. Discon�nued opera�ons.

major line of business or geographical area of opera�ons, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of opera�ons, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discon�nued opera�ons are presented separately on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

g. Standards and Interpreta�ons applicable to 30 June 2023.

In the year ended 30 June 2023, the directors have reviewed all the new and revised Standards and Interpreta�ons issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effec�ve for the current annual repor�ng period. As a result of this review, the directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpreta�ons on the Group and, therefore, no material change is necessary to the Group’s accoun�ng policies.

  • h. Standards and Interpreta�ons in issue not yet mandatory or early adopted.

The directors have also reviewed all Standards and Interpreta�ons in issue but not yet mandatory or early adopted for the year ended 30 June 2023. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current annual repor�ng period.

  • i. Cash and cash equivalents.

at call with financial ins�tu�ons, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturi�es of three months or less that are readily conver�ble to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdra�s. Bank overdra�s are shown within borrowings in current liabili�es in the consolidated statement of financial posi�on.

j. Trade and other receivables.

provision for impairment.

the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (credit loss allowance) is used when there is objec�ve evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficul�es of the debtor, the probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisa�on, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of es�mated future cash flows, discounted at the original effec�ve interest rate. Cash flows rela�ng to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discoun�ng is immaterial.

allowance had been recognised becomes uncollec�ble in a subsequent period, it is wri�en off against the allowance. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously wri�en off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.

k. Inventories.

comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, import du�es and other taxes, and an appropriate propor�on of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal opera�ng capacity.

l. Trade and other payables.

amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recogni�on. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabili�es unless payment is not due within 12 months a�er the repor�ng period. They are recognised ini�ally at their fair value and subsequently measured at amor�sed cost using the effec�ve interest method.

m. Property, plant, and equipment.

All property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less deprecia�on. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly a�ributable to the acquisi�on of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains or losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant, and equipment.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the repor�ng period in which they are incurred.

Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revalua�on of land and buildings are recognised, net of tax, in other comprehensive income and accumulated in reserves in shareholders’ equity. To the extent that the increase reverses a decrease previously recognised in profit or loss, the increase is first recognised in profit or loss. Decreases that reverse previous increases of the same asset are first recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of the remaining surplus a�ributable to the asset; all other decreases are charged to profit or loss. Each year, the difference between deprecia�on based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to profit or loss and deprecia�on based on the asset’s original cost, net of tax, is reclassified from the property, plant, and equipment revalua�on surplus to retained earnings.

Land is not depreciated. Deprecia�on on other assets is calculated using the methods shown in the table below to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their es�mated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term.

The deprecia�on rates used for each class of depreciable assets are as follows:

ANNUAL REPORT FY2023

PAGE 38

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

==> picture [112 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

Class of fxed assets Deprecia�on method Deprecia�on rate
Ofce and computer equipment Diminishingvalue 20% - 67%
Leasehold improvements Straight-line 2.5%
So�ware development Straight-line 4% - 25%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each repor�ng period.

An asset’s carrying amount is wri�en down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its es�mated recoverable amount.

revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.

n. Contributed equity.

a deduc�on, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Where any group company purchases the Company’s equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy-back or a share-based payment plan, the considera�on paid, including any directly a�ributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity a�ributable to the owners of Vec�on Technologies Limited as treasury shares un�l the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any considera�on received, net of any directly a�ributable incremental transac�on costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity a�ributable to the owners of the Group.

o. Dividends.

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discre�on of the en�ty, on or before the end of the repor�ng period but not distributed at the end of the repor�ng period.

  • p. Earnings per share.

  • i. Basic earnings per share.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

  • shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.

ii. Diluted earnings per share.

  • the weighted average number of addi�onal ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilu�ve poten�al ordinary shares.

  • q. Income taxes.

for each jurisdic�on, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabili�es a�ributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

or liabili�es are se�led, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substan�vely enacted, except for:

  • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the ini�al recogni�on of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transac�on that is not a business combina�on and that, at the �me of the transac�on, affects neither the accoun�ng nor taxable profits; or

==> picture [112 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

  • reversal can be controlled, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

amounts will be available to u�lise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed each repor�ng date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

liabili�es and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabili�es, and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable en�ty or different taxable en�ty's which intend to se�le simultaneously.

r. Provisions.

Provisions for legal claims, service warran�es and make good obliga�ons are recognised when the Group has a present legal or construc�ve obliga�on as a result of past events, it is probable that an ou�low of resources will be required to se�le the obliga�on and the amount has been reliably es�mated. Provisions are not recognised for future opera�ng losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best es�mate of the expenditure required to se�le the present obliga�on at the end of the repor�ng period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the �me value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of �me is recognised as interest expense.

s. Intangible assets.

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combina�on, other than goodwill, are ini�ally measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisi�on. Intangible assets acquired separately are ini�ally recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amor�sed and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. The intellectual property acquired as part of the Vec�on Italy business combina�on have been treated as indefinite life intangible assets as they are expected to contribute to the Group’s cash flows for the foreseeable future. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost, less amor�sa�on, and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecogni�on of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pa�ern of consump�on or useful life are accounted for prospec�vely by changing the amor�sa�on method or period.

Goodwill.

Goodwill arises on the acquisi�on of a business. Goodwill is not amor�sed. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.

So�ware Patents and development costs.

i. Research and development.

Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the consolidated en�ty is able to use or sell the asset; the consolidated en�ty has sufficient resources and intent to complete the development; and its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs are amor�sed on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit.

ii. Patents and trademarks.

iii. So�ware.

environment in which the en�ty operates (‘the func�onal currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollar ($), which is Vec�on Technologies Limited’s func�onal and presenta�on currency.

ii. Transac�ons and balances.

Foreign currency transac�ons are translated into the func�onal currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transac�ons. Foreign exchange gains and losses resul�ng from the se�lement of such transac�ons and from the transla�on of monetary assets and liabili�es denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are a�ributable to part of the net investment in a foreign opera�on.

on a net basis within other income or other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Transla�on differences on assets and liabili�es carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, transla�on differences on non-monetary assets and liabili�es such as equi�es held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and transla�on differences on non-monetary assets such as equi�es classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.

iii. Group companies.

  • assets and liabili�es for each Statement of Financial Posi�on presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Posi�on.

  • (unless this is not a reasonable approxima�on of the cumula�ve effect of the rates prevailing on the transac�on dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transac�ons), and all resul�ng exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign opera�on is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.

if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less the costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately iden�fiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-genera�ng units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each repor�ng period.

v. Revenue recogni�on.

Revenue from contracts with customers.

goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the group iden�fies the contract with a customer; iden�fies the performance obliga�ons in the contract; determines the transac�on price which takes into account es�mates of variable considera�on and the �me value of money; allocates the transac�on price to the separate performance obliga�ons on the basis of the rela�ve stand-alone selling price of each dis�nct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obliga�on is sa�sfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

refunds, any poten�al bonuses receivable from the customer and any other con�ngent events. Such es�mates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable considera�on is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumula�ve revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint con�nues un�l the uncertainty associated with the variable considera�on is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are ini�ally recognised as deferred revenue in the form of a separate refund liability.

Interest.

Other income is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Government grants.

that they are intended to compensate.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

w. Leases.

on a present-value basis. Lease liabili�es include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, ini�ally measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees;

  • the exercise price of a purchase op�on if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that op�on; and

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security, and condi�ons.

produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • the amount of the ini�al measurement of lease liability;

  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incen�ves received;

  • any ini�al direct costs; and

  • restora�on costs.

ANNUAL REPORT FY2023

PAGE 42

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

==> picture [112 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase op�on, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life. While the Group revalues its land and buildings that are presented within property, plant and equipment, it has chosen not to do so for the right-ofuse buildings held by the Group.

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less without a purchase op�on. Lowvalue assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

i. Short-term obliga�ons.

wholly within 12 months a�er the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the repor�ng period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabili�es are se�led. The liabili�es for annual leave and accumula�ng sick leave are presented as employee provisions in the consolidated statement of financial posi�on while all other short-term employee obliga�ons are presented as payables in the consolidated Statement of financial posi�on.

ii.

The liabili�es for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be se�led wholly within 12 months a�er the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the repor�ng period using the projected unit credit method. Considera�on is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.

Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the repor�ng period of high-quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the es�mated future cash ou�lows.

Obliga�ons are presented as current in the Statement of Financial Posi�on if the en�ty does not have an uncondi�onal right to defer se�lement for at least twelve months a�er the repor�ng period, regardless of when the actual se�lement is expected to occur.

shares, or op�ons over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-se�led transac�ons are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price. The cost of equity-se�led transac�ons is measured at fair value on the grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black- Scholes op�on pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the op�on, the impact of dilu�on, the share price at the grant date and the expected price vola�lity of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the op�on, together with non-ves�ng condi�ons that do not determine whether the consolidated en�ty receives the services that en�tle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other ves�ng condi�ons.

The cost of equity-se�led transac�ons is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the ves�ng period. The cumula�ve charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best es�mate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired por�on of the ves�ng period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumula�ve amount calculated at each repor�ng date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

The cost of cash-se�led transac�ons is ini�ally, and at each repor�ng date un�l vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or BlackScholes op�on pricing model, taking into considera�on the terms and condi�ons on which the award was granted. The cumula�ve charge to profit or loss un�l se�lement of the liability is calculated as follows:

  • during the ves�ng period, the liability at each repor�ng date is the fair value of the award at that date mul�plied by the expired por�on of the ves�ng period.

  • from the end of the ves�ng period un�l the se�lement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the repor�ng date.

Market condi�ons are taken into considera�on in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market condi�ons are considered to vest irrespec�ve of whether or not that market condi�on has been met, provided all other condi�ons are sa�sfied.

expense is recognised, over the remaining ves�ng period, for any modifica�on that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensa�on benefit as at the date of modifica�on.

If the non-ves�ng condi�on is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to sa�sfy the condi�on is treated as a cancella�on. If the condi�on is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not sa�sfied during the ves�ng period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining ves�ng period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-se�led awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancella�on, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is subs�tuted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a

y. Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxa�on authority. In this case, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisi�on of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxa�on authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial posi�on.

recoverable from, or payable to the taxa�on authority, are presented as opera�ng cash flows.

Commitments and con�ngencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxa�on authority.

z. Compound Financial Instruments.

of the holder when the number of shares to be issued is fixed. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognised ini�ally at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion op�on. The equity component is recognised ini�ally at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly a�ributable transac�on costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in propor�on to their ini�al carrying amounts.

effec�ve interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured subsequent to ini�al recogni�on. Interest related to the financial liability is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. On conversion the financial liability is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognised.

aa. Financial instruments.

Financial assets recognised by the Group are subsequently measured in their en�rety at either amor�sed cost or fair value, subject to their classifica�on and whether the Group irrevocably designates the financial asset on ini�al recogni�on at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) in accordance with the relevant criteria in AASB 9.

The considera�on transferred is the sum of the acquisi�on-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued, or liabili�es incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combina�on, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the propor�onate share of the acquiree's iden�fiable net assets. All acquisi�on costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.

classifica�on and designa�on in accordance with the contractual terms, economic condi�ons, the consolidated en�ty's opera�ng or accoun�ng policies and other per�nent condi�ons in existence at the acquisi�on date.

Where the business combina�on is achieved in stages, the consolidated en�ty remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisi�on-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

Con�ngent considera�on to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisi�on-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the con�ngent considera�on classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Con�ngent considera�on classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent se�lement is accounted for within equity.

and the fair value of the considera�on transferred and the fair value of any pre-exis�ng investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the considera�on transferred and the pre-exis�ng fair value is less than the fair value of the iden�fiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisi�on date, but only a�er a reassessment of the iden�fica�on and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the considera�on transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Business combina�ons are ini�ally accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospec�vely adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises addi�onal assets or liabili�es during the measurement period, based on new informa�on obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisi�on date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisi�on or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the informa�on possible to determine fair value.

cc. Compara�ve balances.

When required by Accoun�ng Standards, compara�ve balances have been adjusted to conform to changes in presenta�on for the current financial year.

Goodwill Impairment Tes�ng

the cash-genera�ng units (CGUs) was determined by a value-in-use calcula�on using a discounted cash flow model, based on a five to sevenyear project period together with a terminal value approved by management. The forecast budget process was developed based on revenue expecta�ons on exis�ng customer contracts along with ongoing opportuni�es. Key assump�ons are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-genera�ng unit is most sensi�ve. The following key assump�ons were used in the discounted cash flow models:

Vec�on Italy Mindesk Group Blank Canvas JMC Group
Pre-tax discount rate 22.50% 20.23% 22.75% 20.41%
Average projected revenue growth rate 42% 28% 21% 5%
Cash fow growth rate for terminal value 2.00% 2.00% 2.00% 2.00%
EUR to AUD exchange rate 0.6097 0.6097 N/A 0.6097

adjusted for the division, the risk-free rate and vola�lity of the share price rela�ve to market movements.

Management believes the above-projected revenue growth rate is reasonable based on the following factors:

  • i. New salespeople hired in the local market;

  • ii. Cisco partnership crea�ng increased opportuni�es across product suite;

  • iii. Tenders already in the pipeline which, if won will create further visibility;

  • iv. Client opportuni�es are currently being nego�ated.

Based on the above, no goodwill impairment expense was recorded other than in rela�on to Mindesk CGU of $954,767, since the recoverable amounts of other CGUs exceeded the carrying amounts. In determining the other intangible assets impairment, management have concluded that the carrying amount of so�ware within the Mindesk Group CGU and the intellectual property within the Vec�on Itlay CGU exceed their recoverable amount and resulted in an impairment of $317,593 and $1,891,703 respec�vely.

As disclosed in note 1(d), judgements and es�mates in respect of impairment tes�ng have been made. Should these judgments and es�mates not occur the recoverable amount of the CGUs may be lower than the carrying amount. The sensi�vi�es are as follows:

Vec�on Italy Mindesk Group Blank Canvas JMC Group
Increase in pre-tax discount rate to: > 29.50% > 22% > 40% > 36%
Decrease in average projected revenue growth < 22% < 25% < 18% < 69%

  1. Descrip�ons of assets

  2. The Group’s execu�ve directors examine the Group’s performance from a core opera�ons perspec�ve and two reportable segments of its con�nuing business, being IT and outsourced services.

2. Segment revenue and results

  • Segment revenue reported above represents revenue generated from external customers. The accoun�ng policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accoun�ng policies describes in note 1. Segment profit represents the profit before tax earned by each segment without alloca�on of central corporate and administra�on costs, employee benefits, deprecia�on and amor�sa�on, and finance costs. This is the measure reported to the chief opera�ng decision maker for the purposes of resource alloca�on and assessment of segment performance.

3. Segment assets and liabili�es

used jointly by reportable segments are allocated on the basis of the revenues earned by individual reportable segments. All liabili�es are allocated to reportable segments other than borrowings, and corporate creditors. Liabili�es for which reportable segments are jointly liable are allocated in propor�on to segment assets.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF VECTION TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Vection Technologies Limited (Company) and its subsidiaries (Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

  • (ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter
Revenue from customers
Refer to Note 2 in the financial statements
Revenue from customers for the year ended 30 June
2023 was $25,331,634. The primary revenue source
is Integrated XR sales to customers.
Revenue was considered a key audit matter because
it is a significant account balance in the statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the
process of revenue recognition involves multiple
revenue streams for services or products rendered.
Our audit procedures included:

Assessing the Group’s accounting policy for
compliance with Australian Accounting Standards;

Obtaining an understanding of each of the revenue
sources and the process for determining and
recognising revenue;

On a sample basis, testing revenue recorded to
supporting documentation;

Testing a sample of revenue transactions before
and after the reporting date to assess whether
revenue is recognised in the correct financial
period;

Assessing the work performed by component
auditors with respect to revenue recognised by the
respective Group’s component entities; and

Assessing the disclosures in the financial
statements.
Carrying value of intangible assets
Refer to Note 9 in the financial statements
The Group has intangible assets of $15,463,298 as at
30 June 2023, comprising goodwill of $7,708,634 and
other intangible assets of $7,754,664.
The Group is required to test goodwill acquired in
business combinations for impairment annually.
In addition, the Group is required to assess at 30 June
2023 whether there is any indication that intangible
assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists,
the Group is required to estimate the recoverable
amount of its other intangible assets.
Our audit procedures included:

Assessing the Group’s accounting policy for
compliance with Australian Accounting Standards;

Critically evaluating management’s assessment of
whether impairment indicators for other intangible
assets were present at 30 June 2023;

Considering the appropriateness of the value in
use models applied by the Group to assess the
carrying value of intangible assets. This included
evaluating the work performed by management’s
expert and assessing the competency and
objectivity of the expert;

==> picture [117 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

Key Audit Matter

We determined this to be a key audit matter due to the extent of management judgement and estimates involved in:

  • Testing goodwill for impairment including determining the cash generating unit ( CGU ) to which the goodwill relates and determining the recoverable amount of the related CGU utilising a value in use model which includes assumptions such as revenue growth rate, discount rate and terminal value growth rate;

  • Assessing whether indicators of impairment are present in relation to the Group’s other intangible assets; and

  • Where indicators of impairment are identified, determining the recoverable amount of the related intangible assets by utilising a value in use model which includes assumptions such as revenue growth rate and discount rates.

How our audit addressed this matter

  • Assessing the work performed by component auditors with respect to other intangible assets held within the respective Group’s component entities;

  • Considering the Group’s determination of their CGUs based on our understanding of the operations of the Group’s business and how the identifiable CGUs generate independent cash inflows;

  • Considering the appropriateness of the value in use models applied by the Group to assess the carrying value of CGUs to which goodwill was allocated. This included evaluating the work performed by management’s expert and assessing the competency and objectivity of the expert;

  • Challenging the Group’s forecast cash flows, EBITDA margin and growth assumptions;

  • Considering the sensitivity of the models by varying key assumptions, such as forecast EBITDA margins, discount rate, within a reasonably possible range;

  • • Working with our valuation specialists, we developed a discount rate range considered comparable using publicly available market data for comparable entities and assessed the integrity of the value in use models used;

  • • Checked the mathematical accuracy of the impairment expenses recognised and

  • • Assessing the adequacy disclosures included in the financial statements.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023 but does not include the financial report and the auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

==> picture [117 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
